Cannot Replace Blank Values with 0 in Matrix, Data is Multiplied

Hello,

I have a problem with my measures. 

I have two measures, and a matrix report. In my matrix report, if there is no data, I want to show 0 instead of blank. 

When I add first measure only itself, it shows the changes. 

But when I add other measure, zero values disappears and I see only blanks. Also, if I add if condition to my first measure and add to matrix, data is multiplied for every record. 

Second measure is calculated from the first measure. 

I couldn't find any proper solution or solution approach to my problem. 

If there is anyone to help me I'll appreciate. 

Thanks

Handling BLANK in Power BI

Solution #1: Using IF

Blank v1 comments =
IF (
    ISBLANK (
        CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( Comments[Id] ),
            FILTER ( Comments, Comments[Year Comment] = 2012 )
        )
    ),
    0,

        FILTER ( Comments, Comments[Year Comment] = 2012 )
    ),
    0
)

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file.
